Mind the Gap

So sorry for my leave of absence.  While I was gone I visited 2 countries, have had no job offers, and we still live in Kaysville. And I am getting tan, so I really can't complain :)

*UPDATE: Got a job at Nordstrom :)*

LONDON:

London was way more than I had ever expected.  I was never super eager to visit London, because I didn't know anything about it, but man, what a BEAUTIFUL city.  My only suggestion is that they should make sure the sun shines more often, I was missing my Vitamin D.  But what a fun place to visit, and so much history and culture.  We visited some companies (Fortnum & Mason, Hamley's) that are older than our country.  Just companies. Amazing.  I was too sad that we weren't going to be there for the Olympics though.  When locals told me they were leaving for the Olympics I would have to hold back from yelling "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING??"  They Olympics are only the coolest thing ever, and you really don't realize it until you are a part of the experience.  I LOVE the Olympics.  Sorry for that side bar... Here are some pictures :)

PARIS:

Paris was not what I expected.  The first day we got there, it was a beautiful, sunny day, and we walked along the river and went to museums and saw street art, which is exactly what we expected Paris to be like.  As the days wore on, I started to realize how many different smells there were, how many dirty people, and just how gross the subway was.  And not to mention how rude most of the French were.  This stuff defiantly starts to wear on you after a couple of days.  But no doubt, it was a wonderful experience, I mean, we went to Louis Vuitton's house :)  (I'll add more Paris ones in a bit, I just have to find them...)
